Auxerre - Brest betting tips and odds

Auxerre will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Brest don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.80 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

While Brest may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 2.75 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Auxerre are determined to prove their fans they can do way better than the last round’s Lorient defeat, which came as a shocker for the home crowd. The hosts were the underdogs in their previous fixture but a few people expected them to go down so badly.

Brest are coming off of a disappointing 0:1 loss in the previous round. The first half of that match was one long stalemate, but their opponents Ajaccio broke the tie later on.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Brest’s home stadium have seen a lot of conceded goals recently – 9 in the last 3 games, to be exact. Considering they don’t have home-field advantage this time, most online sportsbooks are giving rather short odds on Over markets.

Auxerre have a 2-point buffer zone between them and the relegation zone. Though it’s still early in the season, they’ll have to work hard if they want to consider this season a success before the end.

Snatching some points in this showdown won’t be easy, but Brest desperately need them. Although the season just got underway, being stuck in the relegation zone is not good for their confidence – or their long-term ambitions.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.55 with Betsson, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
